While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

lat/long for anywhere in the US. As a bonus, you also get maps for anywhere
you travel. I like those made by Delorme."

I use the Tiger site. Recently I have used Rand McNally's TripMaker for a
quick identification of lat/long before a trip. The Tiger service identifys
the lat/long to within a 1/4 square mile around my house and observatory.

BTW don't forget to translate the decimal equivalent to degrees or you can't
enter them into the LX200.
